Reservations with zero commission. Not per diner, not per booking.
Qomanda is restaurant booking software that charges no commission: nothing per diner who sits down, nothing per reservation that comes in. You pay a flat €49/month per restaurant, full stop. Commission-free means a packed Friday costs exactly the same as a quiet Tuesday, and the tables you fill with your own effort stay 100% yours. We build it at Alture, an agency in Granada, and you talk straight to the team behind the product.
What "commission-free" really means
Commission-free means Qomanda takes zero cents when a reservation comes in and zero when a diner sits at your table. No per-cover fee, no per-booking fee, no percentage of the check. Your fee is fixed: €49/month per restaurant, whether you fill 200 tables or 2,000.
It helps to be clear about where commission actually shows up, because not all software works the same way. A per-diner or per-booking commission is typical of booking marketplaces: portals where diners discover your restaurant and book from the portal's own site, charging you for each cover that sits down. Other management software charges no per-diner commission but a subscription fee — the catch being that many don't publish their price. Qomanda does both things at once: no commission, and the price on show.
Qomanda is not a marketplace. It's your own booking engine, embedded in your page, with a price that doesn't move. "Free to start, but with commission" isn't free: it's a variable cost that shows up exactly when you're billing the most.
The full comparison, nothing hidden.
Pricing model
Per-diner or per-booking commission
The €1.50–€4 per-cover range is an estimate from industry sources, not an official rate. Fee-based software like CoverManager also charges no per-diner commission: that model is specific to marketplaces.
Cost when you fill up
Brings new diners from its portal?
The marketplace wins here: its portal drives discovery that Qomanda doesn't offer.
Track record and integrations
Being honest: veteran platforms have more years behind them and usually more integrations. Qomanda is younger and focused on the essentials.

The per-diner commission trap: the fuller you get, the more you pay
Here's the problem almost nobody spells out in numbers. A per-diner commission turns your best night into your most expensive invoice. According to industry sources, the big portals' commission sits around €1.50–€4 per diner in Spain, with most contracts at the upper end. As an example, at €3 per cover and an average of 20 diners a day through the platform, that's roughly €1,800 a month in commission alone — to which many platforms add a separate visibility fee (estimated at around €100–€350/month per industry sources).
And there's an important detail: according to those same sources, the commission is usually calculated on the price before discounts. If a diner arrives with a discount from the portal's loyalty programme, you collect a smaller check but pay the commission on the full price. The model penalises you precisely when you work hardest.
With a flat fee it's the opposite: every extra table you fill improves your margin instead of eroding it. €49/month is €49 whether you have a slow January or a packed August. Your cost per reservation trends toward zero the more you use Qomanda; with a per-diner commission, it grows with every cover that sits down.
How Qomanda works without commission: your engine, on your site
Qomanda can skip commissions because it isn't a middleman between you and your diner. It's your own booking engine, embedded in your own website with a simple iframe, in Spanish and English. The booking happens on your turf, under your brand, and the customer's data is yours from the first second.
From there you manage everything in real time: day and month views, inbox, a floor plan you can edit table by table, shifts and capacity, a CRM with 14 allergens, notes and VIP tags, waitlist, no-show and occupancy analytics, and integrated Google reviews. All from your phone, even mid-service. And if you want to shield yourself against no-shows, there are card deposits (via Stripe, on your own restaurant's account), SMS reminders and a voice bot that takes reservations over the phone — all switchable on whenever you like.
The business model is honest and simple: we charge you a fee for the software, not a toll on every customer you earn. That's why the price is fixed, and it's why we don't want you depending on us to fill tables: we want the tool to work so well that you renew it every month.
Where a marketplace wins (and why we're telling you)
We're not going to tell you commissions are always bad. There's one thing a booking marketplace does that Qomanda doesn't: bring in new diners. Portals like TheFork have their own audience browsing for somewhere to eat; part of that commission you're paying for discovery, for people who didn't know you and arrive from the portal's site. That has real value, especially if you're in a footfall location or just starting out with no traffic of your own yet.
And let's be fair to veteran management software too, like CoverManager: these are established platforms, with many integrations and years of track record. Qomanda is a younger product focused on the essentials; our advantage isn't seniority, it's a public, fixed price and talking straight to the people who build the tool.
Qomanda isn't a portal and doesn't pretend to be. We don't put your restaurant in a shared shop window or send you customers from a catalogue. Qomanda turns the traffic you already have into reservations: your website, your Google listing, your Instagram, your word of mouth. If you rely on the commission for discovery, the sensible move is to combine: use the portal to acquire, and bring your repeat customers into your own commission-free engine, where every repeat booking no longer costs you a percentage. We tell you this because we'd rather you make a good decision than be sold hot air.
What you pay with Qomanda (and what you don't)
What you pay: €49/month per restaurant. 30 days free to try it with no card, no lock-in, and no commission per diner or per reservation. No small print that surfaces once you fill up.
And so there are no surprises, here are the only third-party costs that exist — they aren't Qomanda's, and they only apply if you switch them on. If you use no-show deposits, the card charge is processed by Stripe on your own restaurant's account, and Stripe applies its standard payment-processing fee (the same one you'd pay with any card terminal, not a Qomanda commission). If you enable SMS alerts, sending them carries a messaging cost. Both are optional: you can run all your reservations without spending a euro beyond the subscription.
That's the whole map. A public, fixed, verifiable price, plus payment or SMS costs only if you choose to use them. No hidden commission for the simple crime of doing well.
The terms, made clear.
- Per-cover commission
- A charge that booking marketplaces apply for each diner who sits at the table. It grows with your occupancy: the fuller you get, the more you pay. Qomanda charges no per-cover commission.
- Per-booking commission
- A fixed or variable cost applied every time a reservation comes in, regardless of party size. Qomanda applies no per-booking commission.
- Booking marketplace
- A portal where diners search for and book restaurants, such as TheFork. It can bring you new customers who didn't know you, in exchange for a per-diner commission. Qomanda is not a marketplace: it's your own engine.
- Fee-based booking software
- Reservation management software paid via a subscription fee (not per-diner commission), such as CoverManager. Usually an established platform, though many don't publish their price. Qomanda is also fee-based, but with a public price: €49/month.
- First-party booking engine
- A reservation system embedded in the restaurant's own website (for example, via an iframe), where the booking and the customer data belong to the restaurant. It's Qomanda's model and the reason there are no commissions.
- No-show (ghost reservation)
- A reservation that is neither cancelled nor honoured, leaving the table empty. In Spain the average rate was around 3.3% in 2025 per TheFork data, with an impact the platform estimates at 5% to 20% of revenue.
